Low FODMAP Ranch Dressing Dip

When you need a dip and you're on Low FODMAP elimination, it's not as simple as just dropping by the grocery store and picking up something to bring to the party. Luckily, it's not much more difficult than grabbing a jar of dip to whip up this fabulous, better-than-Hidden-Valley, creamy, perfect ranch dressing. Whether you're dipping or topping a salad, or spreading it on a sandwich, a little Low FODMAP milk can adjust the consistency to meet your needs here. 

Now, I did purchase the Fody Ranch Dressing to try. The consistency is much thinner than I expected, and the flavor did not remind me of typical ranch dressing. It was very vinegar-forward and honestly, it made both me and my (FODMAP-consuming and garbage-disposal-esque) husband gag. If you're not a current ranch dressing fan, it has gotten some positive reviews, but I think if you're missing Hidden Valley, you'll likely prefer this homemade version. 

UPDATE: There's a new certified Low FODMAP Ranch Dressing on the block - and boy, is she gooooood! Live Free Foods Ranch Dressing really hits the mark for those of us who crave the FODMAP-ladenn versions of our past. It's so thick and creamy!
